Describe two environmental concerns associated with soil erosion.


Sagot :

Soil erosion removes the top soil that is the most valuable part of the soil for agricultural purposes. With this loss of important soil, there is lower yield but higher cost of cultivation.

Soil erosion will work its way downstream that will find its way into the water systems of cities. The top soil may contain pesticides and fertilizers. The soil will also find its way into streams and rivers where it could possibly clog up the natural channels of waterflow.
